Thank you Nick & Nick,
Nick W., I tried using your syntax, but I'm having some problems:
. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 Automobile Data)
. qui summ length
. local mymean = `r(mean)'
. twoway scatter length mpg, text(200 35 "Mean is `: %2.1f `mymean''")
% not allowed
. di `mymean'
187.93243
I also tried using the rclass r(mean), instead of assigning it to a
local macro, but to no avail. Does the colon need to stay inside the
compound quote?
Thanks,
Thomas
